On Sunday afternoon, Bayer Leverkusen host Arminia Bielefeld, in a big Bundesliga clash for both teams at different ends of the German top-flight table.
Bayer Leverkusen suffered a shock 3-2 defeat at Mainz last time out, which ended a four-game winning streak in the German top-flight for Gerardo Seoane’s team.
The defeat did little to hinder Die Werkself’s chances of a top-four spot this season, as they are still third and four points clear of fourth-place RB Leipzig.
A big feature of Leverkusen’s game of late has been their superb attacking play, as Seoane’s team has scored at least two goals in their last six Bundesliga outings.
Striker Patrik Schick has been in lethal form in front of goal this season, netting 20 goals in as many league appearances for the home team. The Czech Republic international has also scored in his last two league appearances for Bayer.
Leverkusen have been strong on home soil of late in the Bundesliga, as they are unbeaten in their last six league matches at the BayArena.
Arminia Bielefeld have been hard to beat of late, as the visitors have lost just once in their last eight Bundesliga games. They are still just three points outside the relegation play-off spot despite their decent recent run of form.
A big feature of their recent encouraging Bundesliga form has been their attacking efforts, Frank Kramer’s team has scored at least two goals in five of their last eight league matches in the German top-flight.
Despite their relatively prolific efforts in front of goal, Arminia Bielefeld’s recent Bundesliga games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four league outings.
Bielefeld’s recent away form in the Bundesliga has been highly inconsistent. A record of just two wins from their previous six matches on their travels is a poor one.
Forebet predicts that Bayer Leverkusen will get back to winning ways by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
